Have YOU Met Josh?

   Have you met Josh yet? I had the opprotunity to. He's a funny guy who can reach the kids by reason and his sense of humor. On January 11, 2012, Josh came to Carbondale and visited the highschool. He talked to the freshman about a program he calls "Hooked on Facebook". He talks about how we as teenagers, spend too much time on social networks, like Facebook, giving out too much information. You never know who could be watching you and using that information to get to you. They use the information that you think is harmless enough to put on the internet.

    He also addressed the problem with cyber bullies. They are bullies that like to attack people through the internet. What they don't know is that can seriously hurt someone. He also addressed sexting. That is when provokative or inappropriate pictures are sent from one person to another. That is a serious offense. You could get charged for producing child pornography and just for having it in your phone or computer. This should never be done because you never know who could get their hands on that picture. Then, once it gets on the internet it never goes away.

This is Josh Gunderson. Make sure you meet him. He has a website full of his programs, schools he has visited, and comments of students he has helped. You should really check it out. Who knows, maybe you'll meet him next.
